Flaca
Read along as Flaca is empowered to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including within herself!
Flaca didn’t always feel so great. Once overlooked and uncertain, she had grown used to hiding her sparkle—until someone saw what no one else had. When her adopter came into her life, everything began to change. In February, Daria came to a SNIPSA adoption event at Woof Gang Bakery with hopes of meeting Flaca. As a rescue, Flaca’s history is unknown, but it was obvious she was frightened of life. Despite her nervousness, Daria grew fond of her and decided to show her what true love is like.
Soon after her adoption, Flaca began to see herself through new eyes—and so did we! She made remarkable strides within just a few weeks. Daria wrote, “I live very close to my parents and sister, who all live in the neighborhood. Our pets have always been part of a ‘pack.’ For ten years, we had four Chihuahuas between the three households, who were all very close and traveled from house to house together—sometimes just for a dinner party or a movie night.”
Daria has since sent videos of Flaca running with the family dogs, going on happy strolls, sitting pretty while she reads, and eating well. In fact, Flaca is now a strong and mighty 12 pounds—a great improvement from the 9 pounds at intake.
Her new mom shares, “She loves the other Chihuahuas in the family, and she is becoming the alpha already.” She added, “She’s filled a huge hole in our hearts after two family chihuahuas had passed.” Undoubtedly, this little gal has found a special bond, newfound confidence, and a fabulous spirit that was inside her all along.
Thank you, Daria, for helping Flaca truly shine—cheers to your furever fabulous life, you two!
